Discrimination Against Gay People Is All About Money

The Catholic Church remains a wealthy institution in spite of paying out billions to settle sex abuse cases. With its money it is able to fire gay teachers from some Catholic Schools. There are Catholic Schools which have funding sources other than the church and they continue to employ gay faculty. The latter may separate from the church.

Major Catholic research universities have gay student clubs and advocate for homosexual rights. Local Bishops express a dislike of this. These Catholic Universities don't care what the local Bishop thinks because they have liberal donors and parents who pay high tuition fees. We can expect Catholic education down to the kindergarten level to play out the same way. This until the tight circle of orthodox Catholicism gets so small it must change.

The same principle applies to Protestant denominations that have chosen to bash and condemn gay people. As long as there is enough money to keep these denominations afloat they will continue to condemn. When age and death take their toll and few young people join these denominations cash will dry up and so will condemnation of gay people.

I've lived long enough and been involved in gay rights to have watched the money part of the effort change. When I started there was enough money to pay for staff and offices of gay rights organizations. While I was active a wealthy gay man died in Southwest. He left about $800,000 with the requirement that it go to annual college scholarships of gay high school students. The stipulation was they had to be out gays and the scholarship had to be presented by a school official at an school-wide ceremony.

This kind of money for such a purpose was unheard of. Today the gay Presidential Candidate, "Mayor Pete" is collecting money, I suppose a fair amount of it, from the gay community.

Money is used to discriminate against gay people. This by itself raises money for gay rights.
